CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[jettrue]

jtschrade,

The menu should be dynamic, which means that the dropdown menu should be built as you add categories without you having to edit anything else.

Is it not working that way?

He's asking that ONLY the categories show at the top. He would like the categories to be on the top level, vs. HOME CATEGORIES INFORMATION CONTACT US MY ACCOUNT SHOPPING CART.

Which I think can be done, it will just take a bit of adjusting. jtschrade, i'll look into this more soon.

That is what I want. Basically, I want it to be arranged like the default setting where each category name is listed horizontally under the banner; but I want it to be a drop down where as you pass over a category the drop down shows the subcategories. Possibly combining the code from those two areas would work. But again, I'm a beginner.

Possibly can build the category dropdowns upon the Categories Tabs feature integrated into recent Zen Cart versions.

Admin > Configuration > Layout Settings > Categories-Tabs Menu > ON/OFF

However, displaying two different horizontal menu bars, one on top of the other, each with drop downs could prove problematic.

And the number of categories in a shop is dynamic, so designing the horizontal categories menu bar looks good when there is only two categories vs. ten or twenty or more top level categories and when to set the categories list to wrap, sounds like a tough job. And there are the subcategories to deal with.
